MBS - Map Zoom and Galv - MV Timed Message Popups

[Acer2020]

Hello everyone, hope your all well. I'm having some compatibility issues with two plugins:
MBS - Map Zoom and MV Timed Message Popups.

Basically, the message popups work fine at normal scale. However, when I zoom into any map, the popups do not anchor to events as intended.
Unfortunately i'm not knowledgeable enough with JS to attempt to fix it myself.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The plugins in question are:

https://galvs-scripts.com/2016/03/23/mv-timed-message-popups/

I created a quick demo to showcase the problem. It's under 1MB:

Okay, made a bit of progress!

By adding
var scale = $gameMap.zoom;
this.scale = new PIXI.Point(scale.x, scale.y);
under line 442 of the Timed Message Popups plugin, the message boxes now zoom in with the screen.

Now trying to offset the window so it lines up with the target event.

Wow thank you for posting this. These plugins are so important for my game and was giving me the same issue. Ive had some other weird issues with galvs plugins where his plugin will turn into another plugin. Message styles and timed message popups and cam control and zoom plugin do it. Its really bizarre. But man galv made some good plugins in his days!

Also dont know if you have this issue too but when you increase font size the times pop up window doesnt wrap the text real well

Keep posted if you find out anything else!

Hahaha, glad to hear i'm not the only one wanting these plugins to work together! I've never had that experience with Galv's plugins transforming into others. That does sound bizarre.

I have, however, encountered the font size issue in the pop up window, and I have found some kind of temporary solution!

Change line 298 of Timed Message Popups plugin from
var h = this.fittingHeight(this._txtArray.length);
to
var h = this.fittingHeight(2);

That 2 can be replaced by whichever number you need to make the window look good with your font size.
The problem with this solution is that it changes the window size for all popups, not just the ones with big fonts. Again i'm far from a JS expert, but as I understand it the plugin extends the window size based only on the length of the message, and not on the height or size of the text.

I'll keep posting if I come across any more solutions. Holler if you also find anything.

Thats good to know, what ive been doing is if the size is too big i hit return to go to a second line and add a space, that makes a blank link underneath it, still doesnt work perfect though :/

Another thing i would like to figure is how to get rid of the timedpop animation the window makes when it pops up. I have dialogue that happens back to back and i make it look like its on the same window(like a chat) and it would be awesome if it could just instantly pop (skip that short animation it makes) and make it look smoother

The opening animation can be removed my changing line 307 of the message popups plugin from:
this.openness = 0;
to:
this.openness = 255;

Same problem as before though, this will remove the opening animation for all popups.
It's also worth noting that this doesn't remove the closing animation. However if you use the script call: Galv.Mpup.clear(); one frame before the popup window closes and immediately open a new pop up window after the script call, it will create the same effect as the absence of a closing animation.

wow this is exactly what i needed. the opening one was the real problem because the way they overlap the closing one usually has no visual ques. duuuuude this is game changing. glad i stumbled upon this post lol

Great news! Glad I could help and look forward to seeing how you use it in your future projects!

Hey, I'm having essentially the same issue with this.

I'm using GALV's Message Styles for popup text and a permanent zoom plugin to basically force a lower resolution on the map while maintaining higher resolution menus.

I have the same problem with popups not anchoring to events. Did you ever find a way around this?

Hi guys, I think I have solved it,

Edited the updateFloatPlacement function in Galv's message script, multiplying some figures by the MBS Map Zoom variables.

Window_Message.prototype.updateFloatPlacement = function() {
    if (!this._tailSprite) this.createWindowTail();
    if (this.pTarget == null) {
        this._tailSprite.opacity = 0;
        return;
    };
  
    if (this.openness < 255) this._tailSprite.opacity = 0;
    // Update the text box position

  
    // init pos X,Y
    var posX = this.pTarget.screenX() * $gameMap.zoom.x - this.width / 2;
    var posY = this.pTarget.screenY() * $gameMap.zoom.y + this.yOffset;
  
    // set posX
    if (posX + this.width > Graphics.boxWidth) {
        posX = Graphics.boxWidth - this.width;
    } else if (posX < 0) {
        posX = 0;
    };
    this.x = posX;
    this._tailSprite.x = this.pTarget.screenX() * $gameMap.zoom.x - this.x;
  
    // set posY
    if (posY + this.height > Graphics.boxHeight) {
        var maxY = Graphics.boxHeight - this.height;
        posY = Math.min(maxY,this.pTarget.screenY() * $gameMap.zoom.y - Galv.Mstyle.yOffet - this.height);
        this.tailPos = 0;
    } else if (posY < 0) {
        posY = Math.max(this.pTarget.screenY() * $gameMap.zoom.y + 15,0); // position box under when it hits top of screen
        this.tailPos = 2;
    } else {
        this.tailPos = $gameMessage._positionType;
    };
    this.y = posY;
  
  
    if (this.openness > 200) {
        if (this.tailPos == 1) { // MID
            this._tailSprite.opacity = 0;
        } else if (this.tailPos == 2) { // BOT
            this._tailSprite.y = 2;
            this._tailSprite.scale.y = -1;
            this._tailSprite.opacity += 50;
        } else if (this.tailPos == 0) { // TOP
            this._tailSprite.scale.y = 1;
            this._tailSprite.y = this.height - 2;
            this._tailSprite.opacity += 50;
        };
    };
  
    this.updateFloats(this.x,this.width,this.y,this.height);
};

Though I have not done much testing with this yet so I cannot take any responsibility if it breaks your game. I was also very sloppy and just edited my base script for this plugin, not sure how to make it an extra plugin you can just plug and play with.

Looks like this:
